1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

introductionVirtually all individuals with Down syndrome (DS) will develop Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology by age 40. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers have characterized AD pathology in cohorts of late-onset AD (LOAD) and autosomal-dominant AD (ADAD). Few studies have evaluated such biomarkers in adults with DS.

methodsCSF concentrations of amyloid beta (Aβ)40, Aβ42, tau, phospho-tau181 (p-tau), neurofilament light chain (NfL), soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (sTREM2), chitinase-3-like protein 1 (YKL-40), alpha synuclein (αSyn), neurogranin (Ng), synaptosomal-associated protein 25 (SNAP-25), and visinin-like protein 1 (VILIP-1) were assessed in CSF from 44 adults with DS from the Alzheimer's Biomarker Consortium-Down Syndrome study. Biomarker levels were evaluated by cognitive status, age, and apolipoprotein E gene (

resultsBiomarker abnormalities indicative of amyloid deposition, tauopathy, neurodegeneration, synaptic dysfunction, and neuroinflammation were associated with increased cognitive impairment. Age and DISCUSSION: The profile of many established and emerging CSF biomarkers of AD in a cohort of adults with DS was similar to that reported in LOAD and ADAD, while some differences were observed.
